Suunto Games are at usual time in June one week before Jukola Relay. So it offers a good opportunity for Jukola trainings.

The venue is in Tervalampi, Vihti some 40 kilometers northwest from Helsinki. All the competition terrain is on the the Western side of Nuuksio National Park. The competitions are held at the special permission of state environment authorities (ELY-centre).

Suunto Games is a two day competition. On Saturday adults have a middle distance race and children a long distance race On Sunday all categories have a long distance race. In both days start mode is individual.

Open orienteering is available in both days, too. The terrain and all controls are just the same used in Suunto Games. You can select among several different courses.
